After working in Hong Kong for many years, despite his aging body that riddled with illness, Chan Hak-chi insist to visit the ocean every year, in remembrance of those who did not make it and lost their lives to the angry seas.

Our memories, true or false, right or wrong, gains or losses, success or failure; how do these sentiments continue to influence Hong Kong today?​
